Teens are sometimes difficult to buy gifts for. I have four sons who are in the teen range 19,17,15 and almost 13. Buying gifts for these 4 guys is not so easy. These 4 gift ideas have passed their intense testing and have been given the thumbs up. I hope this gift guide for teens includes gifts that you might not have thought of. This is my second gift guide in the series, please come back soon for many more.

Teen gift guide

Nintendo 3DS XL: We have two 3DS and my older two boys have been playing on them for years. Sure, they love to play on the XBOX One and also on the PC, but there is something they love about playing games on the 3DS for hours. Their latest obsession is the Pokemon Sun and Moon games, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Steelbook Dual Pack – Nintendo 3DS (Amazon Exclusive). One son plays moon and the other plays sun. They both beat the game a while ago but they are still trading Pokemon and trying to beat each other in one v. one battles. It is so cute to watch these big guys still enjoying playing Pokemon with each other. You can find the 3DS XL on sale on Amazon here: Nintendo New 3DS XL Red

Mark McMorris Infinite Air for XBOX One or Playstation 4: This game is so much fun. Our whole family enjoyed trying to learn how to be a snowboarder. The controls were a bit hard to learn for us at first but now the teens are really good at it. They are so proud when they complete really cool tricks on the snowboard while Mom and Dad just usually fall off. The graphics are awesome and it feel very realistic. This game is one the whole family has enjoyed, but the teens are much better at it than the adults. It is so realistic that you will feel like you are on a mountain, in the snow.You can find it on Amazon here for XBOX One Mark McMorris Infinite Air (Xbox One) and here for Playstation 4: Infinite Air – PlayStation 4

Love the new cube! My son literally has all the cubes that have been invented except this one. When he was 11-12, he would sit and work on all the cubes and do them as fast as he could, he even went to competitions!

I know how to shop for little kids, they are easy. These teenagers are the tough ones. I have a younger brother and a cousin that I have been stumped on for years and always get them gift cards, these are some great options. Thank you!
